Dang; I wasn’t expecting events to go this way. I feel really bad for the adults left behind; there’s no way to find Alex and Nadia, and the longer they’re gone the more likely they’ve died. I’m curious why the natives abducted them; something to do with the Beast, maybe?

Wow, that has gone an interesting direction. Great interactions with the local tribe. I love Alex’s reflections on how different he has become in such a short time. Another glimpse of the world of the six moons triggered by the drink, still wonder where that is going. Nadia sees the beast - so it seems that the beast is real, but doesn’t attack this time. And where have we ended up - a mountain, a waterfall. Still feel like we are in a place with so much build up, excited to see how the story unfolds.

Finally finished this chapter! Had a bit of trouble listening to this one; my focus wasn’t really there, and there were several parts where I was missing a lot of vocabulary.

Got defeated by not knowing the word hormiga :smiling_face_with_tear:. Only figured out exactly what happened in that part when I read it afterward, haha.
